Overview of Ivinson Memorial Hospital Extended Care Facility

Doug Faus administers Ivinson Memorial Hospital Extended Care Facility, a 99-bed senior living community that has operated at 255 N 30th St in Laramie, Wyoming, since 1917. Mary Ponce serves as the Director of Nursing for the property, which provides memory care and assisted living options inside a two-story building. An internal elevator links both levels so residents can access their private or semi-private rooms and shared dining spaces without climbing stairs.

The clinical infrastructure includes an on-site orthopedic clinic, dialysis services, behavioral health support, and rehabilitation therapies alongside standard lodging and meals. The team also coordinates local transportation and daily recreational activities for the residents. The surrounding neighborhood has a walkability score of 37 out of 100, which means the area is car-dependent and requires a vehicle for most errands outside the medical campus.

Families exploring regional memory care options can call the nursing department to see which rooms are currently open. Setting up a physical walkthrough is a direct way to view the clinical spaces, meet the care team, and get a complete list of monthly fees.
